Description
Discover the vibrant art of Jean-Michel Basquiat, a pioneer of 1980s New York's thriving underground scene. From his early days as the artist SAMO, spraying caustic comments on city walls, to his rise as a painter with a strong personal voice, Basquiat's work is a testament to his unique style and perspective.
With a style that blended raw figures and integrated words and phrases, Basquiat's art is inspired by a diverse range of influences, from jazz and boxing to arcane history and street life. This comprehensive monograph features pristine reproductions of his most seminal paintings, drawings, and notebook sketches, offering a vivid insight into Basquiat's intricate marks and scribbled words.
Edited by Eleanor Nairne, with an introduction by Hans Werner Holzwarth, this book is a celebration of TASCHEN's 40th anniversary and provides an unprecedented insight into Basquiat's art. With an essay on his themes and artistic development, this volume is a must-have for anyone interested in contemporary art and the life and work of this iconic artist.
